Son of Jashin (Naruto/Percy Jackson)

Chapter 11: Ōkō Katachi

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The chakra churning around the thing that Percy had become died away, and enough of Mt. Tamalpais had been cleared away that the remaining Greeks off to the far side could accurately see what had just happened. Percy's new form struck fear into all, even the Titan Atlas.

The creature stood at fifteen feet, which meant it only came up to the Susano'o's knee caps, but the power the creature exuded made the giant chakra avatar seem smaller than a termite. The creature's lower half was covered by a black robe of sorts, more like a wrapping of cloth than anything else. Upwards from the waist, there were no muscles, there was no skin, no organs, no nerves...nothing except bones. Spine, ribs, arms, skull, and a set of bones connecting to the shoulder blades that sprouted out behind and then splintered into another set bones. The entire structure was similar to that of a bat's wing bones. However, it was the skull that drew the most attention, for it was not a human skull.

Whatever kind of skull it was could not be found on this earth, or any planet for that matter, but only in something the likes of Satan or other demons could conjure. The large eye sockets were slanted and narrow, with light smoke rising from them, and the hollow nostrils. The jaw was elongated, much like a dog's, and molar-like teeth lined the outside of the jaw. At the end of the snout, large canines pointed upwards from the bottom jaw.

The bones were not bleached, nor were they black, or covered in a sheen of blood. Instead, they looked like the flesh that was once covering the them had just been burned off, and the entire structure reeked of burning, rotting meat.

The creature growled, a sound more intense than diesel engine. Its jaws slowly split apart, strings of blood-like saliva connecting the teeth. The strings looked to be bowing inwards, as if the creature was sucking in air despite having no visible lungs. Then the creature roared at a decibel strong enough to make those within miles cover their ears, blowing the blood-strings out of its gaping maw.

The creature reached behind itself, and ripped off its right wing with a thunderous crack. It held the bones in its hands, and then the tainted ivory began to burn, with embers spreading out from the gnarled hands to cover the length of the wing. After the traveling embers had ran the length of the wing, the creature was holding a new weapon in its hands. A scythe.

The weapon was proportionate to the creature's massive size, with a straight shaft of pure black metal. The butt of the scythe was a blunt edge in the same shape of a human coccyx bone, only much bigger. For the blade, the skull of a bird took the top, with the entire thing seamlessly flowing into a very sharp looking blade for a beak. Smoke curled from the eyes and nostrils of the beak, which was also made of the same black metal as the shaft.

The creature whirled around to face the petrified son of Susano'o, who reacted to the overwhelming danger by howling and charging forward. At this point in time, he didn't care about his soiled underwear, only obeying his fight or flight response in the way a doubly-powerful demigod would. By attacking first.

Due to consuming the soul of his cousin, Tyler's left eye had changed into that of Sasuke's Mangekyou, a sign of his new Amaterasu and Inferno Style capabilities. However, because of the adrenaline and fear taking a joyride throughout his body, Tyler was not even consciously aware of these changes, being far more focused on the primal instinct of survival. The creature would not be so easily defeated, however...or even challenged.

A Shinto demigod using the power of the Ōkō Katachi could rip apart any Kage like tissue paper, and could challenge a beast like the Nine-Tails, and possibly win. But the terrified Tyler was not the Nine-Tails.
